[It takes a fair bit to get Elsa to think about posting to the network. It's had mixed results in the past, and often she just is in no mood to put herself out there for other people to talk to or judge or just in general, regardless of what else is happening on the ship or in her life. Afterlife.

But this is important, because she doesn't care about many people on board, but she cares about her warden and Dillon's no where to be found and hasn't been for a while. It's probably stupid to panic, to worry that something genuinely terrible has happened to him - he's difficult to hurt, at least physically, she knows that - but, well. Trust issues, she has them, particularly regarding a population of people that include quite a lot of admitted murderers.]

... Has anyone seen Dillon? His door is still the same, but- [And there's a fraction of a second where she's not sure if it had been a smart idea to post about this at all, for exactly the same reasons she's afraid something bad might have actually happened to him.] I haven't been able to find him.

Dillon's gone?

[WHAT THE SHIT]

[bothfoulandfair]

I don't know. I can't find him anywhere.

[versusnurture]

I can help you look if you want.

[bothfoulandfair]

Alright. I'm not sure where else to look.

[versusnurture]

Maybe - maybe we can double-check some places? Or ask a warden to get into the warden-only areas?

[She doesn't really know either :c]

[bothfoulandfair]

Chromie agreed to look in the CES. [That's at least a start. :C]

[versusnurture]

Okay. I'll talk to Ben about looking in all the other places.

Elsa, are you okay?

private

[bothfoulandfair]

I'm fine.

[The answer's immediate, and said in a way that makes it clear this is something she doesn't really mean.]

... I don't know. I know I shouldn't be worried. [But she is.]

[versusnurture]

You can be a little bit worried.

[Abigail understands. Dillon's Elsa's warden. That means something - even if some people hate their wardens, Abigail doesn't, and she doesn't think Elsa does, either. Dillon is a good person, and kind. Who would want something bad to happen to him?]

[She lets out a breath, and a little bit of the tension drains out of her. Just a little bit.]

Then I'm a little bit worried.

private

[versusnurture]

. . . Maybe take a break from looking for a while?

private

[bothfoulandfair]

I'll be fine. [She thinks. At least her powers are still limited, otherwise the entire floor would probably be iced over and freezing by now.]

Ben won't mind helping?

private

[versusnurture]

I don't think so. He knows Dillon's my friend. He knows it's important.

private

[bothfoulandfair]

[She takes a deep breath, does her best to steel herself.]

Thank you. For doing this. I appreciate it.

private

[versusnurture]

You don't have to thank me. It's common decency.

And he gave me a gift. So I owe him, too.

private

[bothfoulandfair]

I'm still grateful.
